Artist's Comments

LISTEN PLEASE
[link] "Aphrodite", BGM for Death Fortress Xaerous, from Gradius
============================================
A re-envisioning of the Bacterian stronghold, Xaerous. That giant green battleship on the front cover of the original Gradius game!! The final stage of every Gradius game has the player gutting this massive, transforming base.
Depth of field is fun! I should do this more.

"Aphrodite" is probably one of my favorite compositions to date. Done in FL Studio 6. The instrumentation was tough to pull off but totally worth it -- 1:00 through 1:20 still get me, as well as the bass intro at 0:05.

Enjoy!

Lydia: I find that honey is more effective. I surmise that your parents are
vinegar people; am I right?

Very cool! I like the rough and ominous feel to this one. I'd sure hate to be flying towards that thing...

They say artists should be able to create no matter what medium they are handed. But if someone hands you a slab of marble, and tells you to carve a sculpture using only your face, you're probably S.O.L.
